how fishing
diffused
By the mid to late 19th century, opportunities for the middle and lower classes began to take effect on fishing. The expansion of the railway network in Britain allowed the lower class, for the first time, to take trips to the seaside or to rivers for fishing
Fishing, like hunting, was adopted by many cultures and used differently in each region of the world. For example, Romans fished from boats with rods and lines, and nets. Also, in India, the Pandyas, were known for the pearl fishery as early as the 1st century BC.
In the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, Roman fisher, Claudius Aelian, wrote about trout anglers using artificial flies as lures. Another essay titled "Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle" was published during the 16th century. It was read numerously, and was reprinted a lot. Treatyse includes information on fishing waters, the construction of rods and lines. This reprinting allowed the ideas of fishing to diffuse across England and educate the English.
